India had qualified for the final on the back of an eight-game unbeaten run in the tournament, while South Africa did so with eight in a row. The sides beat England and Afghanistan respectively in the semifinals to make it to the showpiece event.

Batting first, India posted a formidable total of 176 runs despite losing three early wickets. Virat Kohli rose to the occasion as he played a brilliant knock of 76 runs.

South Africa, at one point, were looking to chase down the total comfortably as Heinrich Klassem scored a quickfire half-century. However, Jasprit Bumrah's brilliance in the death overs made sure India clinched the win in the end.
